"The Icebox Robber" in volume 3 has some text censored, at least when Donald mistakes the nephews for japanese soldiers while sleepwalking.
When was the last time this was actually released unedited? I've got a copy of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #627 and it's the same chanaged text there as well.
I got a copy of Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in Color #5 and can confirm it's the original unedited text.
Sadly, I have noticed the same thing. The Icebox Robber has altered text, I am not sure if any others. What bothers me the most is that on the first pages, Fantagraphics acknowledges "these stereotypes and language were wrong then and they are wrong now and instead of removing them we keep it so we can learn from it" but that's not enough, no, the content had to go anyway. It's an outright lie, readers will be lead to believe that this is the original text. Why?
How is it "The complete" Carl Barks library when text is removed or altered where editors find it suitable?

Is it a lie ?....yes. At what point does it become fraud ??

Not to mention leaving out entire published stories ("Silent Night"), and probably some unpublished pages and panels.
